British English? What's that? THERE'S NO SUCH THING!
English is spoken [...] speak Scots [...] speaks Gaelic [...] speak Welsh.
I was not talking about spoken language. It will take a few years before LibreOffice can be used
for dictionary checking of spoken language.
Your message perfectly shows the kind of emotions languages can evoke.
"all dictionaries", "all dictionaries for your country",
"choose from all dictionaries", "choose from all dictionaries for your
country".
That would get quite complicated.
I am sure some people could be annoyed also by being reminded that there are languages spoken in
their country that they perhaps consider leftovers from invaders and not real language of their
country. Or the other way around, people feeling they belong to an oppressed linguistic minority
would complain if a dictionary of their language isn't installed even if they choose "all
dictionaries for your country".
Surely we want to avoid stepping into such a minefield.
